Dermography. Ethics and Aesthetics of Skin Writing
We are only just now beginning to understand the importance of human skin for our individual and collective well-being.According to biophysicist Georges Limbert (2019), “skin tells...
In vitro and In-cell characterization of Quadruplex-duplex hybrids: conformation, folding, and recognition by drug-like ligand molecule
Nucleic acids are intrinsically polymorphic.Apart from the Watson-crick duplex, guanine-rich sequences can form G-quadruplex (G4) structures, which have become attractive targets f...
Epromoters in health and disease
Promoters and enhancers regulate transcription in higher eukaryotes.The classical definition of enhancers is the property to activate gene expression distally, while promoters indu...
Grammar Assistance Using Syntactic Structures: Fast parsing with formal grammars deployed for Spanish grammar coaching.
Grammar Assistance Using Syntactic Structures.In the times when a human's right to a cultural identity is often at odds with the standardized requirements placed by e.g. emplo...
Exploiting pseudo-gauge fields for novel light-matter interfaces
A central goal within quantum optics is to realize novel light-matter interfaces that enable efficient, controlled, and complex interactions between photons and atoms (or atom-like...
Genomics of Luminescence in Mycena Mushrooms
Sailors called it burning of the sea, Shakespeare described it as pale fire and Aristotle named it cold light. The glimmer they witnessed was light emitted by living organisms or b...
Investigating the TORC1 signaling pathway in the moss Physcomitrella and its application for enhanced production of valuable pharmaceutical compounds
The Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (TORC1) signaling pathway, involved in the coordination of cell growth and metabolism, is highly conserved among eukaryotes, including seed plants...
Putting the top down on AMPK protein complex
The 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a master regulator of cell energy metabolism. AMPK (dys)regulation has been connected to metabolomic disease,...
High energy density and long cycle life near-neutral Zn-air rechargeable batteries using polyoxometalates nanoclusters as homogenous catalysts
Even though Li-ion batteries have dominated the market so far, they lack the desired properties for large scale electric grids or electric vehicles. Besides, there are some concern...
Microglia-synapse molecular interactions in neurodegenerative disorders
Microglia are immune cells that monitor our brain and degrade unhealthy neurons and excess synapses.In Alzheimer’s disease (AD) however, microglia excessively destroy synapses, mar...
Understanding the drying behavior of polymer-coated particle dispersions using optical tweezers
After spilling coffee, a tell-tale circular stain is left by the drying droplet. This universal phenomenon, known as the coffee ring effect, is observed independent of the disperse...
PALEOclimate modelling of Small Islands in the Mediterranean and possible impacts on arthropod habitats
PALEOSIM (PALEOclimate modelling of Small Islands in the Mediterranean and possible impacts on arthropod habitats) focuses on the climate and Land-Use Change (LUC) impacts on arthr...
Protein-engineering based approach to detect oxidative stress-induced changes in the neuronal proteome
Neurodegenerative disorders are characterised by the progressive deterioration and loss of certain neuronal populations.Distinct clinical features are associated with different dis...
Human-Environment interactions in and around Venice Lagoon: micro-ecologies and geoarchaeological narratives from Roman Period to Middle Ages
WaterScapes is an interdisciplinary project that examines the relationship between environmental changes, natural constraints and potentialities and past societies settled in and a...
INnoVAtive Solution for Imaging of Infiltrating mONocytes
The societal burden of brain disorders, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease is enormous and is considered one of the worlds most important health cha...
Polymeric Cyclodextrin-Based Supramolecular Constructs Photoreleasing Nitric Oxide for Combating Antibiotic Resistance
With more than 13 million people dying per year from infectious diseases Multidrug Resistance (MDR) in bacteria remains thegreatest challenge in public health care.This scenario, a...
Cognitive Aspects of Mithraic Rituals in Pannonia
Traditional scholarship focusing on the examination of archaeological material from the Roman province of Pannonia has ignored cognitive and sensory theoretical approaches, particu...
Transport of Reaction Intermediates in the Stepwise Assembly of Fatty Acids
Fatty acids are essential metabolites used in biological cell wall formation, energy storage, and signal transduction. Fatty acid synthesis is carried out in an iterative sequence...
PROTAC-driven Protein degradation by Proteasome during Antigen Processing and Presentation (ProAPP)
PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) is a new and attractive therapeutic approach that regulates a target protein by channeling it to the proteasome for degradation (an energy-de...
Nanostructures and nanoelectromechanical devices for precise control of topological defects/matter in superfluid helium
Since Richard Feynman's famous talk There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom in 1959, the following decades saw the booming of nanotechnology. One of the fields in which nanotech...
